Reviews and Awards

"Mashood Baderin's International Human Rights and Islamic Law is a monumental contribution to an area that needs more scholarly contributions from intellectuals and scholars of Islamic law.... This book will be very illuminating for students, administrators and judicial personnel not only from the western world. Besides being knowledgeable in Islamic law, scripture, and Hadith, Baderin shows a remarkable grasp and understanding of international human rights law.... There is a pressing need to shift the intellectual discourse from that of a clash of civilizations to that of a dialogue among cultures. Baderin's work could pave the way to this alternative discourse."--The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences
